What it Means.

The Tariff Plank in the Democratic
platform adopted by the New York Con
vention foreshadows that u be agreed on
the nominating convention next year.
It Was the result Of a Caucus Of the lead
ers, and Therefore II mas the sanction Of
The administration The platform de-
mands that the revenue 81 be straightwav
reduced by sum not less than $1,000
100 year I; that the duties to be first
reduced or altogether removed are those
on imported raw materials; that other
duties should be forthwith re7nitted or
reduced which increase the cost II the
common neeessaries Of hfe and that
several hundred articles should be
added 10 the free list. on the ground that
the daties on them are effective for Pro
lection and therefore yield little or no
revenue That Is the Free Trade plan,
and II / good to know that II i the Ad-
miDis1ration plan This means free wool
free iron-ore and pig iHon, free salt. coal
lumber, fax, hemp, coffee and hundreds
Of other articles. Those who are enga-
ged IN or who are patrons Of such indus
tries must determine whether they are
ready for such 3 slaughter. A The pro-
posed free list would reduce the receipts
only s2o.0o0.0o0, the remainder, or $50
100000 would have 20 be taken from arti-
eles that exist because Of the protection
that l. now offered them. This demands
a reduction Of 80 per cent all along the
line. and il il self evident that such
reduction on manufactured articles would
IL effect render the Tariff worthless for
the defence Of home industry That l.
precisely the aim and intent Of those who
have framed this platform. and il Is the
aim Of Speaker Carlisle. Mr.. Morrison
and their Free-Trade associates, who
number about four-fifths Of the Demo
cratic Representatives in Congress The
Administration platform Is therefore 80
distinct that the workinglnen cannot be
deceived about it.

The Soldiers Friend.

The Administration has bat little love
for the Union soldier, but il wants his
vote, and hence the attempts Of Mr.
Cleyeiand's henehmen 20 pose him a.
the soldiers friend. II reminds u Of
President johnson who posed AS the
Moses of the colored man That was got
ten up for grand political iAblesu. but
the actors could not sustain their parts.
the scenery was not in keeping with the
show, the colored fires did not fash 70
order, and the whole affair sas 4 fat
future President johnson was a bsls-
tard Moses, President Cleveland viii be
his prototype as a nation poser.
still il depends on which soldiers he
means. If the rebel soldiers. then he
certainly has valid claim TO the dis
tinetion. In that event he needs no argn-
ment, no proof. for il i as self evident a.
the opening propositions in the DeclAra-
ton Of independence Bot Il be means
the Union soldiers whom he has disposed
from place and insulted IN his official
message, he bad better stop fooling. for
such pretensions are only another insult
to those who Wore the blue. His pre-
tensions are based on his pension record
and his friends make the assertion that
he has been more generous 70 the Union
soldiers than any OF his predecessors.
But the facts, and fscts are stubborn
things. put different aspect on the mat
ter
Mr. MePherson, whose authority a. an
official annalist and sististician Is IN
questioned, shows that this statement l.
false alike in assertion and in suggestion.
The truth i, that President Cleveland
approved about two-thirds Of the bills
passed vetoed over one eighth and d0d-
ged as to the remainder Of them. A 10
the false enmrarison suggested, it Is de-
rnolished by the sact that Clevelands
appnovaIs were but 5Ss out Of sl4 passed
are thus I20 less than Grani' and Hayes
combined and 6S less than Arthurs.
Grant vetoed only eight bills out Of the
4siS passed during his. administration
HAYES vetoed none Arthur none.
Ne think Mr. Cleveland had better
stop this He cannot be elected en- that
platform aud in the soldier business he
mus, draw his votes from the rebel ele-
ment where he has unspairingly distrib-
uied his patronage. Let him look for
votes where he has dispensed his fayors
from that South which was as solid for
treason a it Is for the Democracy. The
Union soldier has taken his measure,
and he must wear the uniform Of his
division. The Soldier's Friend Bah
